I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

I use it for two things: checking out protest stuff and checking the only subreddit (it's a small one) that's actually keeping me on Reddit.

[-] Zarxrax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The RIF app was reddit to me. I would typically spend over an hour per day on it.

I do still check Reddit maybe once a day on my desktop, maybe for about 5 minutes. There are still a few communities on there which don't have an active alternative here on Lemmy. However, I have deleted all my old posts and comments, and I do not make any new ones.

[-] CthulhuOnIce@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Boost was the only thing that made it tolerable, I couldn't use the official reddit app even if I wanted to

[-] nefonous@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I completely switched to lemmy for my random scrolling. But the main community for a game is still there so sometimes I keep lurking that subreddit only (exclusively from pc)

[-] bleepbloopbleep@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Didn't visit at all since June.

And I don't miss it :)

[-] Leo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

I use it to check anime episode discussions, it will probably get worse with time but its the only place I trust to read the comments. Also I still put reddit at the end of the search bar cuz the internet right now is just so full of useless articles about everything

[-] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Got a couple niche subs I still check once in a while. Otherwise I don't read reddit anymore nor do I comment and vote.

[-] Lolors17@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Nope, nothing proprietary on my watch.

[-] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 4 points 1 year ago

I basically only use my phone these days and when third party apps died so did Reddit to me.

[-] Logical@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Since I started using Lemmy, not much. I am mostly on here now.

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe once a week using RiF ReVanced for

  • Checking two small subreddit
  • Delete comments that haven't been visible anymore but now are again (because I deleted newer comments, now the older ones starting to appear again)
[-] GobsImage@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Nein. I'm done. Ish. If I search for something and the answer happens to be in a reddit post, blahblah.

I used to check reddit everyday, some days I'd spend hours browsing. I think I've checked it twice since Apollo went down?

[-] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I check hydroponics subs occasionally.

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Almost never.

Sometimes when I need to troubleshoot or am looking for specific information, then I will add reddit. It still shines there.

But don't have a login anymore and I don't visit daily. Lemmy has become my main now.

I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.

On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I've gotten it to a usable state in mobile.

I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.

[-] J12@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hadn’t been in 3 days besides accidentally opening Apollo. I’m going to stop by one of these days and edit and delete my comments and posts.

[-] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nope. Left as soon as Apollo ended.
Only went back to transfer all my subscriptions using the Voyager tool - found under settings “migrate subreddits”. On June 29 I used a different tool to delete all my posts on Reddit. I’m leaving my empty account there as a form of protest.

[-] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Nope! On June 30 I used a script to erase all my prior comments and posts and deleted my accounts.

Fuck u/spez.

[-] koreth@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but much less than I used to. When I don’t have a particular goal in mind and just want to doomscroll a bit, I find myself checking Lemmy first, and only if I run out of things to read, which I usually don’t, do I move on to Reddit.

There are still some niche communities that are active on Reddit and not here. So I do still go over there on purpose for those.

No, I have a couple small communities that I have pull into an RSS reader that still works somehow, but I stay logged out and never comment. 12 year account with 29k karma and I quit cold turkey and mostly went back to RSS feeds.

[-] JoeClu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Steve@compuverse.uk 3 points 1 year ago

I think its been almost a month, since I intentionally went to Reddit. More than 3 weeks anyway.

[-] abnormal_258@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

i still go on it. but i am migrating from reddit

[-] HipPriest@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week. There's some support communities on there that I'm a part of and check in with on there.

But learning about Reddit's behaviour the last month or so has been something of an eye opener and for now I'm enjoying exploring here (and actually reading ebooks again) as an alternative

[-] HerrBoedefeld@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

So, personally i'm done wirh reddit. But i still go there every once in a while to target about ten very specific subs which aren't even remotely replicated in the fediverse for the foreseable future. See, there's this chatgroup i maintain with my not so ultra tech savvy parents and a handful of goofy dog/cat/bird videos a day brightens their work days with a minute of joy. They would never browse reddit or even the fediverse and this tradition came at basically no "extra cost" since i scrolled reddit any day anyways. Now i don't want to stop bettering their lives out of my idealism against reddit so i bite the bullet for now. I'm not engaging in reddit anymore, just go straight to some subs and that's about it. Since this is content often posted by casual users very much like my parents i doubt we will see a big influx of this kind of content in the fediverse any time soon, if ever. So yeah, i still go there.

[-] drbluefall@toast.ooo 3 points 1 year ago

I deleted my account around the start of the original blackout, and from then only really checked r/ModCoord & r/Save3rdPartyApps. These days I only really briefly pop into r/ModCoord to check for any updates on the situation.

[-] krzysd@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Just check nsfw but images hosted by Reddit that are NSFW are slow to load and seem to have been slow for quite a while, so my rate at which I check it tapered from few times a day to now once or twice a month

[-] NinjaCheetah@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I only go to reddit now if I look something up and get a link to it. I don’t go there to browse anymore.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I have not used it since some time in early June.

I have technically logged into my account -- but only because I've opened Relay Pro. In spite of everything, it appears to still update everything, and the last app patch update message I saw said that they had implemented changes to reduce API usage (this after July 1).

But I haven't interacted with reddit beyond that, and I don't plan to. It's not about anger at reddit anymore either -- I actively like Lemmy better. It reminds me of old reddit.

[-] MrMcMisterson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I do, but not nearly as much. My reddit time when from a couple hours a day, to maybe 15 minutes here and there when I'm at a PC only. Even then, it's not as active. Only my local sub is because the community didn't migrate.

[-] viridian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah unfortunately. There are some subs that haven't migrated over yet and some subs that are active that have really useful info for me (school, language learning, etc.)

[-] biscuitsofdeath@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Lotsen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Sometimes for fixes and stuff but not much anyomore

[-] elbowdrop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just to check some niche subreddits. Browser only, no sign in. And once I find what I need on the lemmyverse I'm all done.

[-] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I go there just to read about the state of affairs regarding Reddit itself.

[-] King@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy still has some issues that need to be addressed for it to fully replace Reddit for my needs

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have been using the official Reddit app from my cakeday (did not know about all the other apps until they were gone), and have opened the app like every other day but haven't made a comment since I switched to Lemmy.

[-] Stefh@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I deleted my profile, but of course I still land there sometimes from Google results
